EPA's Superfund cleanup level for lead in residential soil is 400 ppm.
It is described in EPA guidance found at:

http://www.epa.gov/superfund/programs/lead/products/oswer98.pdf

EPA's TSCA rule for lead in and around housing can be found at:

http://www.epa.gov/superfund/programs/lead/products/403_final.pdf.

The hazard level for lead in soil around residential homes is 400 ppm.


The pharmakinetic model used to derive these cleanup levels is described 
in various part of EPA's lead web page.
